Encryption/Cryptography Resources

To date, cryptography is not something that has crept into the average NT Administrator's Toolkit unless you run an e-business site on the Internet. However, Corporate espionage is on the rise, and international
versions of the NSA's Echelon Project are being copied by other nations. (You mean, you didn't know that ALL of your e-mail is being read by the NSA?) The trend of the future is for all business networks to be
fully encrypted, with digital signatures and secure authentication. Don't get left behind.

Cryptographic
Filesystems: Design and Implementation
Cryptographic filesystems have recently come to the
forefront of security. This article will discuss
some of the background and technology of
cryptographic filesystems and will then cover some
example implementations of these filesystems
including Microsoft's Encrypting File System for
Windows 2000, the Linux CryptoAPI, and the Secure
File System. Source: SecurityFocus.com

SSL
and Certificate ServicesThe most common implementation of security on the Internet
today is the use of digital certificates. This chapter discusses
the technology behind security as well as tools provided by
Microsoft for ensuring Internet security. Source: InformIT (March

PGP International Home PagePGP (short for Pretty Good Privacy) is a public key encryption program originally written by Phil Zimmermann in 1991. Over the past few years, PGP has got thousands of adherent supporters all over the globe
and has become a de-facto standard for encryption of email on the Internet. If you're not familiar with PGP, stop here first.

RSA Data SecurityRSA is well known for their cryptography work, and if you've most likely used used their products without even knowing it. There is a lot of information on this site, but you should check out their Labs FAQ.

Cryptix Cryptix is an international volunteer effort to produce robust, open-source cryptographic software libraries. Cryptix products are free, both for commercial and non-commercial use and include cryptographic primitives for Java and Perl, work is underway on PGP, SSH and
SSL libraries.

PKI Options for Next-Generation Security
The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) market is still in its infancy, but it's rapidly becoming essential for everything from VPNs and e-commerce to remote access and authentication. Here's what you need to know. Source: Network Magazine (March 1999)
